Truck Rollover Accidents in Orange County, CA

Secure an Attorney to Protect Your Entitlements

The mere size and weight of 18-wheelers and semi-trucks can cause devastating and even
fatal accidents.

All of the following can lead to truck rollovers:

Sharp turns

High speeds

Overloaded cargo holders

Braking too quickly

Truck driver negligence is responsible for too many accidents and fatalities
every year. The increasing amount of traffic causes minor accidents to
become catastrophic, damaging multiple cars and injuring numerous people.
Truck rollovers are not only dangerous because of the potential damage
to the truck and other cars caused by it falling to its side, but could
also result in explosions.

If you were injured in a truck rollover that was caused by another driver's
reckless actions, you deserve to be compensated. The Orange County injury
attorneys at Cohn & Swartzon, P.C. have assisted numerous clients
in seeking damages from negligent truck drivers, as well as the companies
that employ them. Truck drivers are required to act in a reasonably cautious
manner when operating a commercial vehicle, so it is your right to hold
them accountable if they have failed to do so. If you are interested in
filing a personal injury claim, contact us today for a free case evaluation.

Conditions that Contribute to Truck Rollovers

There are a number of different factors and conditions that could contribute
to a truck rollover, but far too many are caused by truck driver negligence
or inattention. Although truck drivers are required to undergo intensive
training before they can obtain a commercial driver's license and abide
by strict regulations when they're out on the road, some continue to act
in a manner that puts other drivers at risk.

Some of the most common causes of truck rollover accidents include:

Making a turn at high or unsafe speeds

Driving a truck that has been overloaded with cargo

Overcorrecting when trying to avoid an obstacle

Driving at excessive speeds / making reckless maneuvers

Engaging in distracted driving behaviors

Driving while fatigued or failing to take a rest break

Changing lanes in an abrupt or unsafe manner

How do I prove that the truck driver was negligent?

If you were recently injured in a
truck accident, it is imperative that you move quickly to secure the representation of
an Orange County truck accident attorney from Cohn & Swartzon, P.C.
The other driver's insurance company may be quick to offer a settlement
in the hope that they can close your case as quickly – and for as
little money – as possible. What many victims do not realize is
that they may be entitled to much more than what they have been offered
by the insurance company.

Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may be eligible to
file a claim against:

The negligent truck driver who caused the accident

The company that employs the truck driver

The manufacturer of defective trucking equipment

Determining liability can be tricky, which is why it may be in your best
interest to secure legal representation at the outset of your case. When
you work with our firm, we can take steps to ensure that all liable parties
are held accountable. In order to do so, we may work with an accident
reconstructionist, interview witnesses, examine police reports and request
black box evidence from the trucking company. Unlike the insurance company,
we will have your best interests in mind.
